Labor – A Poem By Silas H. Shepherd
Labor
Silas H. Shepherd
He who acts upon the Square Will always well with all compare. The Mason uses tools of love To build a Temple planned above. The Gauge he constantly employs To measure work and limit joys. The Plumb imbues his soul and heart With love Divine and sacred art. The Level guides his daily act And makes good fellowship a fact. If we employ these tools each day A beautiful Temple will be our pay. Gold Masonic Rings, Stainless Steel Masonic RingsLondon Regalia:

THE LAMBSKIN – A POEM BY EDGAR A. GUEST
THE LAMBSKIN
A POEM BY EDGAR A. GUEST
It is not ornamental, the cost is not great, There are other things far more useful, yet truly I state, Tho of all my possessions, there's none can compare, With that white leather apron, which all Masons wear. As a young lad I wondered just what it all meant, When Dad hustled around, and so much time was spent On shaving and dressing and looking just right, Until Mother would say: "It's the Masons tonight." And some...

The Palace – By Rudyard Kipling
The Palace When I was a King and a Mason, a Master proven and skilled, I cleared me ground for a Palace such as a King should build. I decreed and dug down to my levels Presently, under the silt, I came on the wreck of a Palace, such as a King had built. There was no worth in the fashion there was no wit in the plan Hither and thither, aimless, the ruined footings ran. Masonry, brute, mishandled, but carven on every stone, After me cometh a...

The Masonic Ring – A Poem
The Masonic Ring
Those men who help my dad each day, They wear those Mason rings. A Square and Compass set in gold, The praise of which I sing. My dad, he hurt his back you know, One cold and wintery day. He slipped and fell upon the ice, The insurance would not pay. And since that time those rings I see, On hands that help us much. With mowing lawns and hauling trash, Each day my heart they touch. My Mom she cried...
